M-1 model of reentry body in 3.5ft Hypersonic Wind Tunnel throat
DATE: SEPT 21, 1940 CONSTRUCTION OF THE 16FT (HIGH SPEED) WIND TUNNEL. OF THE ORIGINAL TUNNELS PLANNED FOR AMES THE 16FT HAD PERHAPS THE HIGHEST PRIORITY. ASSIGNED THIS PRECEDENCE BECAUSE IT WAS TO HAVE A HIGHER SPPED THAN ANY OTHER MAJOR WIND TUNNEL IN THE NACA AND WOULD PROVIDE AERODYNAMIC DATA AT SPEEDS AT WHICH FUTURE MILITARY AIRPLANES WERE EXPECTED T FLY. IT OPERATED AT SPEEDS UP TO 680 MPH, ABOUT 0.9 OF THE SPEED OF SOUND AND 4 TIMES THE CROSS-SECTIONAL AREA OF THE LANGLEY 8FT TUNNEL....

Photographer: KSC The payload bay doors of the Space Shuttle Orbiter Columbia were opened for the first time today using the orbiter's onboard door operation system. The hinges of the payload bay doors are not designed to support the weight of the doors while open horizontally in the Earth's one "g" environment and a counterweight zero "g" device supports the weight of the doors while they are open for processing in the OPF.
